The value in the sequence closest to 300 is 310
Arithmetic sequence is a sequence where each term increases or decreases by addition or subtraction of a constant term
the first term a = 30
common difference, d = 40
which term is closest to 300 we solve like this
300 / 40 = 7.5 say 7
the 7th term, T7 is solved by
T7 = a + ( n - 1 ) d
T7 = 30 + ( 7 - 1 ) 40
T7 = 30 + 240
T7 = 270
checking for the 8th term to confirm the nearest
T8 = T7 + d = T7 + 40
T8 = 270 + 40
T8 = 310
therefore the 8th term is closest and the value is 310
